When Schaeuble claims that British voters were lied to about Brexit one can only say: He and his cronies in the EU - and the Eurocracy in particular - to their utmost to torpedo a smooth Exit from the EU. Unfortunately the Political Class in the UK lacks a decisive politician, a la Churchill or De Gaulle, and allow Barnier & Co to play their silly games. Should have just quit in June 2016 and start negotiations with a clean sheet of paper. No agreement on air transport? Well after a few days, maybe weeks of turmoil that would have been sorted out. Does ANYONE really think that no agreement would have been thrashed out? Better to handle one problem at a time - one just has to copy agreements that have been made between EU and any number of other states that have transport links!Who lies- Schaeuble or Brexit supporters?

Some would even say hated. Given the endless reports of diminishing trust in policitians one might well think that there is something wrong with society. Maybe it lacks moral standards and this causes people to have less and less respect for their 'leaders'. But considering David Miliband's salary of US$ 600,000 as CEO or the International Rescue Committee (Charity!) there is no doubt where the blame lies! Given that every penny he gets too much is coming (literally) out of the pocket of the poor he is supposed to help this is a demonstration that there is an enormous swamp that waits to be drained - and only Direct Democracy has any chance to ever get on top of these abuses. Equally depressing is the part played by mainstream (corporate) Media - just now Miliband was pontificating on CNBC, and the fawning reporter there did not raise the question of his pay at all!

Another Black Eye in the face of proper Democracy. A minority supports another candidate parachuted in by the Establishment. How can Macron be seen as an 'independent' politician when he recently served in the Socialist Government?Macron's Mandate for Change

The winner of this pathetic political contest has just over 32% of the votes! This is another case where a minority rules over voiceless citizens - and if the French resort to violent protests as a consequence the Establishment has only to blame itself!Macron's party set for huge French parliamentary majority

While questioning Government may be a useful attitude it is not enough - it might just be a moaning without any real impact. Much better to have a system of Direct Democracy that gives citizens a direct say in all political decisions.Questioning Government Is What Makes You An American

Angry at Trump? there are many reasons - and if he lasts the course it would be a big surprise. But the problem with these 'Accords' is that they are reached in a very undemocratic fashion. No one voted for them, so it should be no surprise that they are abrogated without any input from citizens. The same can be said for Brexit - maybe there the Leavers won by too thin a margin to give it legitimacy, but on the other hand no one could vote in favor of 'ever-closer-union'.
Solution: give citizens say over all decisions.Trump says U.S. to withdraw from Paris climate accord

No problem with the type of club people want to join. But the REAL problem with Bilderberg is that most members are not there thanks to their personal quality - they are there because of the jobs they are entrusted with, be it in politics or business. As such they are answerable to their constituents or shareholders. Holding secret meetings are in direct contrast to they requirement to be fully transparent to them. Therefore participation should be prohibited.
